Center Field Magnetic Magnetic field Toroid

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic field at the center of a toroid using the formula B = mu*N*I/2*pi*r. However, the book states this approach is invalid due to the lack of a constant field path through the center. Participants suggest using the Biot-Savart Law as an alternative method for this calculation. Guidance is requested on how to effectively apply the Biot-Savart Law in this context. The conversation emphasizes the complexities of magnetic field calculations in toroidal structures.

Can't this be calculated from B = mu*N*I/2*pi*r? Book explanation says that this can't be done because there is "no path through the center along which the field is constant" So I guess I must use the Biot-Savart Law. How should I go about doing that?

Thanks a lot, Doc Al, for the link!

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
